The Butterfly Lion by Michael Morpurgo

alitasharing's review

5.0

The first by Morpurgo I ever read. Opened up my world as a young reader. He writes with tenderness and compassion and his characters are vivid and wonderful. Humans' relationships with animals and other aspects of nature feature heavily in all his works and inspired me deeply as a child.
The Butterfly Lion will always be my favourite Morpurgo book alongside Alone On A Wide, Wide Sea - both of which I read and re-read many times. Highly reccomend!
